We are pleased to announce another new platform that further compliments the
Academic Explorer (AeX) at www.mcaex.net and the Scholarship &
Financial Aid Explorer (SFeX) at www.mcsfex.net.
The new platform, Marine Corps Job Explorer (JeX), launched in cooperation
with the Marine Corps Transitional Assistance Management Program (TAMP)
and Family Member Employment Assistance Program (FMEAP),
provides a searchable database
of employment opportunities that is suited to transitioning Marines, as well
as family members and others within the Marine Corps community. Members of
the Marines Corps Community can use JeX to both profile their individual
resumes, as well as find employment opportunities that leverage their skills
and education, and supports their career goals. Likewise, businesses and
organizations can use JeX to post employment opportunities that are suitable
for members of the Marine Corps community. This new platform is available
at www.mcjex.net

We are pleased to announce a new application that joins
together our two portals, the Academic Explorer (AeX) at www.mcaex.net and the Scholarship &
Financial Aid Explorer (SFeX) at www.mcsfex.net with an integrated search engine. The AeX/SFeX
Integrated Search application will allow users to search for both
degree/certificate programs and scholarship opportunities, side-by-side, at the
same time, with one set of search criteria. This feature will allow potential
students and counselors to search for a degree or certificate program that
matches the skills and interest of the student and simultaneously display any
scholarship opportunities that might be available to help them complete that
program offering, in addition to their TA and MGIB benefits.
The Integrated Search will allow users to filter the results to the current
library of over 7,000 certificate and degree programs offered by almost 125
institutions (in AeX) and simultaneously apply the same search criteria to more
than 125 available scholarship opportunities, providing the filtered search
results in the same format provided in AeX. Click on the "Launch Integrated
Search" button at the bottom of the home page.
